What was initially a ramshackle group of Ph.D. students, associated with David for as little reason that economically minded folk in ERG&#8217;s engineering-focused community need to stick together, seems to be growing into a healthy researching machine.  Check out the new website for the <a href=\"http:\/\/anthofflab.berkeley.edu\/\">Society, Environment and Economics Lab<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The current drivers are around <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fund-model.org\/\">FUND<\/a>, a widely-used integrated assessment model, maintained by David.  For a long time, models like this have been black boxes, and FUND is one of the few with open source code.  That&#8217;s changing with David&#8217;s new modeling framework, <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/davidanthoff\/Mimi.jl\">Mimi<\/a>, which has allowed him to <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/davidanthoff\/fund.jl\">rewrite FUND<\/a> as a collection of interconnected components.<\/p>\n<p>I like the vision, and I think it&#8217;s implemented in a way that has real legs for shifting the climate impact assessment process into a more open process.  But we&#8217;ll find out soon.  The National Academy of Sciences is meeting soon to discuss the future of the &#8220;social cost of carbon&#8221;, an influential quantity computed by models like FUND.  David is going to try to convince them that the future of impact modeling looks like Mimi.
